Module/Blog 13 Assignment: Not Seen on TV

 

    When looking at the clips given, the one I decided to talk about is "Ascension" from Bill Viola.


This clip was very interesting to me because it shows a slow-motion capture of someone plummeting into the water and rising back up, hence the name "Ascension". This clip did interest me quite, it shows a plummet down to the darkness and the slow rise back up to the surface. The clip gave me that feeling of falling down and slowly rising back up. The thing that is being portrayed in this clip is that no matter how deep you fall, you will always rise back up, whether you want to or not. 


As this clip is looked upon, it does not show anything that is cultural or critical of the sort. Even though it is something simple, it can show a bigger picture, depending on who views or has their opinion on it. That is how I can see things differently since everyone has their own opinions on topics or what they view. If everyone has the same opinion then the topic, video, tv, etc would not be as interesting to the people. 


The idea can be expanded upon or be made in simple terms to the people viewing it. That's what I like about these videos, images, clips, or such. Everyone should have their own viewpoints on topics, that just makes things all the more interesting.

It reminds me of music in a way. With music, you start with nothing, no shape, environment, and you have to make it all yourself or others. To me, music can be considered abstract art. As for actual abstract art, the look, feeling, and color patterns matter a lot, and it does also depend on the tastes of a person who judges abstract art. The reason is that everyone has their preferences and thoughts, especially if they don't understand the abstract art presented to them. I wouldn't know how to feel if given an abstract art I had no understanding of. I probably would ask to get a better idea of what the artist was trying to create. As for abstract art texture, I like physical and aest...
